Bio

    Hi, my name is Avery, and I am on the postdoc market!

​

     I am a doctoral candidate in Human Development and Family Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, working with Drs. Jennifer L. Maggs and Kelly L. Rulison. My doctoral training focuses on quantitative methodology and prevention/intervention science, and I hold a certification in translational science. I recently completed an NIH T32 predoctoral fellowship in the Prevention and Methodology Training Program funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Currently, I am working on my dissertation.

​

     I completed my M.S. in Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State and hold a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Health Communications from the University of Texas.

​

     In my free time, I love to travel (on a thrifty grad student budget). I also enjoy reading for pleasure and spending time with my loved ones. I am a proud Houston, Texas native—yeehaw!
